NHM...what? Now this sounds like a fun event! Still have yet to run the short course and looking forward to that.
Can either event make money like this? What was the motivation to add a date the same weekend as one of the most popular regionals?
Andy, No black helicopters in site. The date became available from WGI. So BOD decided to take it. I hope both regions do ok. With travel costs involved my guess would be neither event will detract from each other. I guess if we could look at last years entry at NH and see if entrys came from this direction that might be a better gauge of loss on entries. Just my thoughts. TW:eclipsee_steering:Quote:

AND the same weekend as a double national?Quote:

There are at least 2 of us coming to the WGi weekend from Central Ohio. Never been to this track and looking forward to having a great weekend! The holiday weekend makes this an easy trip for me. Can't wait! Just need to get the car together. :)
and a NASA event at NJMP that may (no pun intended) also include an enduro...
And IMG at LRP on Monday.
As the cry goes out "there's too many races" but....the weekend came available!:shrug:
Around here (Ohio), if a track weekend becomes available - we pick it up. Weekends don't come available often - so when they do we take advantage and pick it up. If we (SCCA) don't take it - another group will.Quote:

Having said that, this years NARRC schedule has receive RAVE reviews. Great tracks at about 1 race per month. It's perfect for most people I have talked to.
I'm happy this event is available!!! WGI>NHMS
Drivers are one thing... what about workers?
